LEMV en route to Bedfordshire

I can't verify the source (a chap called Trevor Monk) but I have no particular reason to disbelieve it:

The Long Endurance Hybrid Air Vehicle (the HAV 304) is now just leaving the USA packed up in around a dozen ISO containers, and will arrive in Liverpool in a week's time. A week after that it should be in Bedfordshire. We'll let everyone know in due course where it will be, and of course there will be plenty of milestones next year when it gets air inflated, shown off to the public for the first time, helium inflated, re-put together and then first UK flight later in 2014...then on its way to type certification. Watch this space!
